Right in the middle of things, the Belcove is a popular budget hotel just south of Swing Bridge, literally at the edge of Haulover Creek. You can sit on one of the balconies of this three-story wood hotel, painted sunflower yellow, and watch the boats on the river. Some of the rooms are barely larger than the beds in them, but they're clean, and the staff is helpful and friendly. Airport pick-up is BZ$40. Pros: Good value, friendly staff, central downtown location. Cons: Funky atmosphere, be very careful after dark.
